There’s no way to avoid it: Relocating is a hands-on/high-contact process. Interstate movers must load up boxes, hoist furniture and move belongings. In plain language: Moving professionals will come in contact with your belongings.
During these unprecedented times, thinking about a moving crew appearing at your door might seem to contradict shelter-at-home orders and social-distancing guidelines. However, it’s more likely the exact opposite.
How is that possible?
Safer approach
A DIY move forces you to personally purchase packing paper, buy boxes and rent a truck. These activities increase the chances you’ll encounter contagious individuals and COVID-contaminated materials. Plus, you risk passing that exposure to friends and family who want to help you move for just the price of pizza and beverages.
But if you hire a member of the National Van Lines family of interstate-moving agents, you not only lessen your physical burden, you leave packing, loading and unloading to relocation professionals trained to wear masks, use gloves, practice state-of-the-art hygiene and properly store materials, such as cardboard shipping boxes (capable of carrying coronavirus contamination for up to 24 hours).
Safely tucked away in your home until moving day, you’ve protected yourself and your family from unneeded pandemic risk.
Plus, during these unprecedented times, you can take full advantage of our zero-contact methods for figuring the cost of moving. These virtual tools are extremely accurate and are the preferred method during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Know your mover
How do you know national moving companies are adhering to the current coronavirus-containing federal guidelines? Are all cross country moving companies practicing safe-moving techniques by following pandemic preventive practices as defined by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?
Search a company’s website, Facebook posts and tweets. Do they contain info about what steps that company has taken to protect you? Do their photos show drivers and moving-crew members masked and gloved? Is the company ready and willing to answer your safety questions?
We’re working hard to help protect your health and well-being. We’ve adopted CDC’s guidelines, including monitoring the health of our office employees, in-home estimators, drivers and moving crews so you know exactly what to expect on moving day.
